Berlin Wall Memorial Self-Guided Audio Walk: Bernauer Strasse, Watchtower and Mauerpark

About this experience

The Berlin Wall was never one wall. On Bernauer Strasse it began as a row of house fronts and a coil of barbed wire, and grew into a layered machine of walls, lamps, fences and towers. This is the one place in Berlin where a stretch of it survives with every part. Start at Nordbahnhof, a ghost station with a door in each half of the city. Walk the old patrol path past the Window of Remembrance, the preserved strip between its two steel walls and a watchtower, and the Chapel of Reconciliation, rebuilt from the rubble of a church blown up in 1985. Follow the border line to the house where Tunnel 29 ended and the corner where a young border policeman jumped the wire, then climb into the Mauerpark beside a surviving inner wall that is now open to graffiti. Twelve stops, about 2.2 km and 75 minutes, at your own pace, in English. A few steps at one point, with a ramp beside them. All memorial sites on the route are free.
